I'm currently running a 2.6 P4, a 6600GT, 1gb ram and 200gb HD in a T2-P Asus Terminator (which fits perfectly. so I'd like to keep with the size).
Although most games and everything runs pretty well, I think games out this year may struggle. BF2 wasn't smooth.
So I've been contemplating this...
I can use the memory and HD I already have. The icybox will allow me to fit a 2nd hard drive into the spare optical bay giving me 500gb (I could do with a bit more storage.)
The only things I'm not sure about are the graphics card and whether getting a dual core x2 is worth it or not.
